The State of New Hampshire has received settlement funds to resolve litigation related to the use of the gasoline additive, methyltertiarybutyl ether (MtBE), and its adverse impacts on the quality of groundwater and drinking water in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) and Department of Justice have been authorized to expend these funds to address MtBE contamination in New Hampshire. This public meeting has been scheduled to inform the public about the MtBE contamination problem and DESs work to address it, and to solicit feedback on the development of a plan for optimally using the available funds.
